The Bureaucracy of Sshamath RP Thread (Public Knowledge)

Unread post by Blackman D »

DM Dialectic wrote:The Bureaucracy Convenes

Rumor spreads in Sshamath that the city's Bureaucracy political body is looking to fill vacant seats with resident representatives of factions in good favor with the Conclave. The Bureaucracy it is said will help the Conclave to administrate the City Guard, the Charnag Maelthra intelligence organization, and the City Militia against threats to the Conclave and the city by the Bureaucracy providing policy recommendations to each of these organizations, but these recommendations could always be overruled by the Magistrature or the Conclave. The Bureaucracy will be set to meet upon obtaining new membership within a few tenday it is said.

There is an official posting in various public areas of Sshamath that factional applicants interested in membership on the Bureaucracy should submit an application to the Conclave saying their applying faction name, their applying single speaking and single silent representatives, and their proof and pledge of loyalty to the Conclave. Each faction member of the Bureaucracy will be allowed one speaking member and one silent member the postings read.
For those interested in the beginnings of the Bureaucracy. The Bureaucracy is officially housed in the Stone Stave along with the Conclave, but has some information available for public interests. While inside the Stone Stave, and while being watched by the guard to insure no misshapes, those interests would be allowed to see the Registration and Memo Books of the Bureaucracy that hold the names of the members and their positions as well as any meetings to be held should interested parties wish to contact a member or attend a meeting.

Each faction is allowed a Speaking and Silent member to hold seats on the Bureaucracy with only the speaking member allowed to take part in the discussions, though silent members can speak if referred to. Any interested party that has no affiliation, or affiliated members other than the Speaking and Silent members, can attend meetings but only as spectators and cannot speak on discussed matters for the duration of the meeting.

It is reminded that the Speaking and Silent member seat selections are handled by each faction internally, this includes removal and reappointment of representatives. Though newly established factions, or non-represented factions, are encouraged to present their interest of joining to the Bureaucracy and new appointments in this manner will likely be pending approval by the Conclave as the Bureaucracy does not control the faction seats.

On a dull day in Sshamath, rumour spreads of a relatively new face in the city being appointed as the School of Conjuration and Summoning's representative in the Bureaucracy. The drow male typically goes by the name of Conjurer Vesche and is said to have pale blond hair and light blue eyes - making him easy to recognize.

Word likely reaches the ears of those with an ear towards happenings at the Stonestave that a meeting among some of the members of the Bureaucracy took place.

Rumour would speak of a Bureaucracy meeting to be taking place within a few cycles.

//Dear Members of the Bureaucracy,

I wanted to comment on our last meeting.

First of all I wanted to say that it was good to meet all of you, a couple I had already met before but quiet a few new faces were present as well and it's always good to meet new people so new stories can unfold.

Now to the less positive things :twisted:.

I have to say it felt like a ton of RP possibilities were left out. Starting with Daugonar appearing with battle worn and dirty Attire and displaying terrible manners all meeting long there was close to no response to his blatantly obvious bad behavior. I think one of us actually said something once. In my opinion on a real meeting of the drow leaders he would have been forced to order by all present rather quickly and removed from the Bureaucracy if he'd been keeping it up.

Then there was an enslavement of a wizard mentioned at least the representatives of the schools I expected an outrage or at least disbelief in the end this would be an attack on to the status of all wizards in Sshamath in which they reign supreme.

Then there is the general RP etiquette, this was a meeting of important people of the City every single one of them is more important than the other, except for the silent seats of which my K'yon was the only one. He'd be the least of them all, so I'd expect them to vituperate each other basically on every word. Also K'yon in the end spoke without the consent of his master Beldroin I'd at least expect the other parties to feel disrespected by this, Beldroin actually did a good job of dismissevly let K'yon talk on request.

I have to say the meeting was a bit of a disappointment being pretty stale for the most part not because we lacked topics but because of the way we interacted with one another.

I hope this does not appear to be too offensive it is not meant that way. It's rather a try to get a little more spice into the upcoming meetings.

Best regards,

K'yon
K'yon Oblodra
Necromancer of the school of Necromancy
